Physical AI (humanoid robots changing toilets) is still years away.

Without repetition, they can sound cold and robotic.

All the manufacturing jobs will be replaced by robotics and AI.

Regardless, it is not quite as robotic as it used to be, and building that solid team (including a good mortgage broker who knows these guidelines) has become really important.Definitely seeing some of those hang-ups as well, never a dull moment

Automatic payments can be set up.

I’ve successfully built a stack that automates the intake and skip-tracing process for approximately $0.15–$0.30 per lead (API costs only).The Strategic Flow:Data Integrity: Using Google Address Autocomplete to ensure zero-error data entry from the start.Instant Valuation: Pulling real-time market data to provide the seller with a custom offer range immediately.Automated Skip Tracing: The system automatically pulls legal owner names, mobile numbers, and emails the second the form is submitted.Remote Management: I manage the entire logic (margins, repair costs, SMS triggers) through a Slack/Telegram integration so I don't need a heavy CRM.I’m currently running this through a Google Sheets backend to keep the tech stack lightweight.I’m curious to hear from the veterans here—at what volume does it make sense to move away from 'all-in-one' platforms and into custom API-driven automation?

Also the IRS does not look kindly on offshore nor robotic studies for obvious reasons.

Brian Davis: I’d feel comfortable moving forward automatically if the verification came from the main reliable sources, Experian, Equifax, and TransUnion.

But it syncs with Hospitable so all my cleanings are automatically sent to my cleaners.

That separation matters.DocumentationEvery request needs:Date/time reportedDescriptionPhotos if applicableVendor assignedCompletion confirmationInvoice tied to the workIf this isn’t captured somewhere automatically, you end up recreating history later, which is where time and accuracy die.When to upgrade softwareIt’s not about unit count as much as mental load.
